I do have to say, after a misfortune regarding another dive boat, MV Emperor Superior come out with great praise. First of all, MV Emperor was kind enough to accommodate my reservations after the previous booking could not accommodate. This was a blessing, since all reservations and flight tickets had been purchased. The entire crew were extremely professional and catered to requests. Hany and Tracey were very professional and very descriptive in the dive briefings. Safety was definitely a first priority. It was a pleasure diving with the crew. Food was excellent, could have had a few options during breakfast, since it was basically the same thing every morning, but that is just my opinion. The rooms were spacious and fit the needs. The weather was quite warm, so it did take some time to cool the rooms, however, when they did cool, it was very comfortable. Thank you to all for making my first time in Egypt very enjoyable.

Wonderful, lovely dives, boat and especially crew! This liveaboard probably ranks in my top three for overall experience, largely due to the attentive crew and expert management skills of Saad and Amr. Great, relaxing atmosphere, yummy food and beautiful sites made this the best therapy for crazy 2020. Many thanks
